So after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I have joined the week six sketch fray. I realize the quality of this one is somewhat less than usual, but I was trying to also explore some composition principles from Andrew Loomis's "Creative Illustration". You guys should check it out. It's a great book and you can find it fully digitized on the internet. Just google Andrew Loomis and it'll be one of the first three links.

They both thought they would be the victor, but instead it was us and the delicious result of their epic battle.

Sketch 2 Death is a collection of artists/friends who select themes on a weekly basis and create stuff (sometimes). Basically this blog sucks and none of its "sketchers" have posted anything in like a year!
